One of the leading EDM manufacturers world-wide, with more than 15,000 installed machines, ONA has five (5) subsidiaries in Europe, America and Asia, each with a large network of distributors.

Founded in 2009 and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, AAEDM designs and manufactures EDM machines for high-precision microhole machining.
